Mormon Mother of 6 Offers Radical Advice on How to Cut Down on Abortions in America

These days, there are always surprises to be had when you log in to Twitter. There always seems to be someone trying to shove their outrageous views down people’s throats.
Granted, being on this social media platform can be a bit exhausting these days, but not all the time. There are days when you stumble truly remarkable ideas that can change your life.
A topic like abortion never grows stale, and it’s always interesting to hear new perspectives on the matter.
For decades, people have been divided when it comes to abortion, and there is no hope that the controversy will end any time soon.
In fact, since Trump got into White House, the abortion debate has been more heated than ever.
The president and his administration had plans to defund Planned Parenthood, and with that, the debate on women’s freedoms and healthcare rights got renewed interest.
Fortunately, today, anyone can get on social media and make their opinions known to the rest of the world in an instant.
However, a Mormom mom, Gabrielle Blair, has presented an interesting argument on abortion. She is a mother of six, and she thinks there is a simple way to lower the number of abortions in the U.S.
This mom is not afraid to tell the truth as it is, and the internet is genuinely proud of this fact.
Gabrielle Blair Is Also A Blogger And Bestselling Author
I’m a mother of six, and a Mormon. I have a good understanding of arguments surrounding abortion, religious and otherwise. I've been listening to men grandstand about women's reproductive rights, and I'm convinced men actually have zero interest in stopping abortion. Here's why…

Blair is not afraid to argue it out with anyone who thinks she has no idea what she is talking about. In particular, she is ready to take on anyone who believes women are solely responsible for abortions.
According To Blair, Men Are 100% To Blame For Unwanted Pregnancies
If you want to stop abortion, you need to prevent unwanted pregnancies. And men are 100% responsible for unwanted pregnancies. No for real, they are. Perhaps you are thinking: IT TAKES TWO! And yes, it does take two for _intentional_ pregnancies.
— Gabrielle Blair (@designmom) September 13, 2018
Obviously, a lot of men would disagree with the lady on this.
However, if you see her viewpoint, you can understand that she has an excellent point to make.
She Explained Herself
That makes 24 days a year a women might get pregnant. But men can _cause_ pregnancy 365 days a year. In fact, if you’re a man who ejaculates multiple times a day, you could cause multiple pregnancies daily. In theory a man could cause 1000+ unwanted pregnancies in just one year.
— Gabrielle Blair (@designmom) September 13, 2018
If that doesn’t blow your hair back, then I don’t know what will.
What About Birth Control?
Surely, lots of people might be wondering what the woman has to say about birth control. Fortunately, Blair does not shy away from this question either.
Modern birth control is possibly the greatest invention of the last century, and I am very grateful for it. It’s also brutal. The side effects for many women are ridiculously harmful. So ridiculous, that when an oral contraception for men was created, it wasn’t approved…
— Gabrielle Blair (@designmom) September 13, 2018
It’s common knowledge: birth control has serious side effects.
Another problem is that birth control is not easily accessible unless you have health insurance. Frankly, this problem is made worse by the fact that there are a lot of people devoted to making sure Planned Parenthood does not succeed.
Unfortunately, Planned Parenthood is the only hope the uninsured have.
Contraceptives Focus On Women, Not Men
Men can keep them stocked up just in case, so they’re always prepared. Amazing! They are so much easier than birth control options for women. As a bonus, in general, women love when men use condoms. They keep us from getting STDs, they don’t lessen our pleasure during sex…
— Gabrielle Blair (@designmom) September 13, 2018
When a study on male birth control was done, the project didn’t get anywhere due to the terrible side effects. The surprising bit is that these side effects were not as bad as those women face when using various forms of birth control.
So, doesn’t that mean condoms make the most sense for a woman who lacks access to birth control? Think again.
Most Men Hate Condoms
Why would men want to have sex without a condom? Good question. Apparently it’s because for the minutes they are penetrating their partner, having no condom on gives the experience more pleasure.
— Gabrielle Blair (@designmom) September 13, 2018
Therefore, Blair poses the question:
“So why in the world are there ever unwanted pregnancies? Why don’t men just use condoms every time they have sex? Seems so simple, right?”
Her answer to this is simple and yet riveting:
“So… there are men willing to risk getting a woman pregnant — which means literally risking her life, her health, her social status, her relationships, and her career so that they can experience a few minutes of slightly more pleasure? Is that for real? Yes. Yes, it is.”
Find that depressing? It’s understandable, most people would.
It’s All Quite Disturbing
It’s mind-boggling and disturbing when you realize that’s the choice men are making. And honestly, I’m not as mad as I should be about this, because we’ve trained men from birth that their pleasure is of utmost importance in the world. (And to dis-associate sex and pregnancy.)
— Gabrielle Blair (@designmom) September 13, 2018
Blair goes on to offer more evidence that men are the reason we have unwanted pregnancies. She claims that a man can’t get a woman pregnant without having an orgasm.
She Didn’t Stop There
No matter how many orgasms she has, they won’t make her pregnant. Pregnancies can only happen when men have an orgasm. Unwanted pregnancies can only happen when men orgasm irresponsibly.
— Gabrielle Blair (@designmom) September 13, 2018
According to Blair, a woman can have orgasms on her own, but when a man ejaculates irresponsibly, she ends up getting an unwanted pregnancy, and ultimately, an abortion:
“Women enjoying sex does not equal unwanted pregnancy and abortion. Men enjoying sex and having irresponsible ejaculations is what causes unwanted pregnancies and abortion.”
Where Does The Responsibility Lie?
Let’s talk more about responsibility. Men often don’t know, and don’t ask, and don’t think to ask, if they’ve caused a pregnancy. They may never think of it, or associate sex with making babies at all. Why? Because there are 0 consequences for men who cause unwanted pregnancies.
— Gabrielle Blair (@designmom) September 13, 2018
Her point here is that there are no consequences for men as far as unwanted pregnancies go. He can simply walk away from it and move on with his life.
A Woman Has No Option
If the woman decides to have the baby, or put the baby up for adoption, the man may never know he caused an unwanted pregnancy with his irresponsible ejaculation, or that there’s now a child walking around with 50% of his DNA.
— Gabrielle Blair (@designmom) September 13, 2018
An unwanted pregnancy is a very different thing for the woman involved.
It’s All On Her
61% of men (or women) who are legally required to pay it, simply don’t. With little or no repercussions. Their credit isn’t even affected. So, many men keep going as is, causing unwanted pregnancies with irresponsible ejaculations and never giving it thought.
— Gabrielle Blair (@designmom) September 13, 2018
That is truly depressing, considering that this happens all the time.
Men Should Be Held Responsible
When the topic of abortion comes up, men might think: Abortion is horrible; women should not have abortions. And never once consider the man who CAUSED the unwanted pregnancy. If you’re not holding men responsible for unwanted pregnancies, then you are wasting your time.
— Gabrielle Blair (@designmom) September 13, 2018
Therefore, men should be held to account for the unwanted pregnancies they cause. Unfortunately, that will not be easy since nobody seems to want to do that.
How Can Men Be Held Responsible?
Stop protesting at clinics. Stop shaming women. Stop trying to overturn abortion laws. If you actually care about reducing or eliminating the number of abortions in our country, simply HOLD MEN RESPONSIBLE FOR THEIR ACTIONS.
— Gabrielle Blair (@designmom) September 13, 2018
Imagine a world where protests at clinics stopped. That would mean men wouldn’t get to choose what happened to a woman’s body.
She Asks Difficult Questions People Don’t Want To Talk About
… as forcing a woman to go through a 9-month unwanted pregnancy?
— Gabrielle Blair (@designmom) September 13, 2018
Blair suggests a drastic and radical solution to the problem of unwanted pregnancies. Without a doubt, few will agree with her.
She Makes Some Important Points
But is it worse than forcing 500,000 women a year to puke daily for months, gain 40 pounds, and then rip their bodies apart in childbirth? Is a handful of castrations worse than women dying during forced pregnancy & childbirth?
— Gabrielle Blair (@designmom) September 13, 2018
It’s a well-known fact that unwanted pregnancies can often have fatal consequences. The question is: how can this be addressed?
This Is What Blair Suggests
For those of you who consider abortion to be murder, wouldn’t you be on board with having a handful of men castrated, if it prevented 500,000 murders each year?
— Gabrielle Blair (@designmom) September 13, 2018
Keep reading, she even has a plan for these men to have kids even after undergoing castration.
She Has Thought Of Everything
Hey, you can even have the men who will be castrated bank their sperm before it happens — just in case they want to responsibly have kids some day.
— Gabrielle Blair (@designmom) September 13, 2018
Undoubtedly, a lot of people are not about to get comfortable with physically punishing men, which is why she offers an alternative.
What About Vasectomy?
After all, it’s not as invasive as many other birth control methods.
Vasectomies are very safe, totally reversible, and about as invasive as an doctor's exam for a woman getting a birth control prescription. There is some soreness afterwards for about 24 hours, but that’s pretty much it for side effects.
— Gabrielle Blair (@designmom) September 13, 2018
And the best part: it’s reversible.
Can We Make This Possible?
It's not that wild of an idea. 80% of males in the U.S. are circumcised, most as babies. And that's not reversible.
— Gabrielle Blair (@designmom) September 13, 2018
Blair understands there will be those opposed to these ideas, but that won’t stop her from making her point. Her suggestion is that the issue of abortions should not focus entirely on women.
She Compares Abortions To Cure And Disease
If you want to stop abortions, you need to prevent the “disease" – meaning, unwanted pregnancies. And the only way to do that, is by focusing on men, because: MEN CAUSE 100% OF UNWANTED PREGNANCIES. Or. IRRESPONSIBLE EJACULATIONS BY MEN CAUSE 100% OF UNWANTED PREGNANCIES.
— Gabrielle Blair (@designmom) September 13, 2018
Her belief is that the only way to lower the number of abortions in the U.S. is to focus on the primary cause of unwanted pregnancies: men.
Her plea is that men think about this really seriously.
The Cost Of Preventing Irresponsible Pregnancies
Ask yourselves: What would it take for you to value the life of your sexual partner more than your own temporary pleasure or convenience?
— Gabrielle Blair (@designmom) September 13, 2018
This is a serious question, and although she is the one asking it, it affects all of us. Women’s sexual health is always under the control of men.
The Country Is Mostly Run By Men
Men mostly run our government. Men mostly make the laws. And men could eliminate abortions in 3 months or less without ever touching an abortion law or evening mentioning women.
— Gabrielle Blair (@designmom) September 13, 2018
This information is not exactly new. Unfortunately, things are yet to change when it comes to society’s opinions on abortions.
The notion that something can be done to lower abortion rates without mentioning women is simply mind-blowing. It might even seem far-fetched.
She Has A Simple Point
In summary: STOP TRYING TO CONTROL WOMEN'S BODIES AND SEXUALITY. UNWANTED PREGNANCIES ARE CAUSED BY MEN.
— Gabrielle Blair (@designmom) September 13, 2018
The end.
After this flurry of posts, lots of people were in agreement with Blair and congratulated her for the sobering Twitter thread.
People Were Impressed
@designmom You are amazing. That thread completely blew up assumptions I didn't even know I had about unwanted pregnancy, and I was already pro-choice. I don't know how you thought so far beyond sexist conventional _wisdom_ or distilled it all so well, but THANK YOU. 🙏
— Sarah Stone Ehlinger (@SarahEhlinger) September 16, 2018
Blair managed to teach many of us things we didn’t think we ever needed to know about.
Whatever you think of the posts, her reaction is totally understandable.
We Are Always Told What We Should Think
Reading Blair’s thread must be what it feels like when the truth hits you right in the face.
Some Applauded Blair And Shared Their Thoughts
Any time I haven’t used a condom it’s because a guy convinced me not to, and I always spent the following weeks panicking/praying that I didn’t get pregnant. But that was worth it for them to get a small percentage of greater pleasure, right? Thank you so much for writing this
— Hillary (@lilredhill) September 16, 2018
Twitter can get pretty depressing at times. However, it is truly remarkable when people come together to build each other up and change society for the better.
Who Can’t Get Her Point?
Sometimes you lack the words to express how much you agree with someone.
Do We Finally Have An Award-Winning Twitter Thread?
If this were possible, the award would certainly go to this mother of six.
The Twitter Thread Couldn’t Get Enough Clapping Emojis
My word, Gabby! That was amazing. All of it. 👏👏👏👏👏
— Melissa Bahen (@luluthebaker) September 14, 2018
Without a doubt, a number of people will disagree with Blair. Fortunately, the support she has received for her thread is overwhelming.
A Suggestion From A Fan
This is a slayer of a tweet storm, seriously.
— annelie (@annelie) September 14, 2018
She may claim to be a mom and a blogger, but a fan thinks it’s time she added slayer of tweets to her list of expert skills.
